Does he use it as an alarm to get him out of bed in the morning and as far away from it as possible? YES!

Well done, Lynne - this is the closest I've come to answering questions in real time, and it's rather exciting.

Many of the people who design vihslems must agree with this guy's logic. I agree with Balin's assessment that most are annoying, and am thankful that radio/CD/MP3 alarm clocks exist for those who prefer less of a rude awakening.
